12 TFlop TitanX
- Thread starter shadragon
- Start date
The Titan x Pascal is no sensible choice. That being said i play ED with it overclocked to non-downclocking 2050mhz (watercooled) and no other GPU will give you this ED experience. You can crank up supersampling to such high levels that it looks greater than ever before.
Yes FD needs to fix their game because we should not need 2.0 Supersampling to make the game look like it does now. If you cannot wait for FD to get their sh** together though: This is as good as it gets. It runs every other VR game out there perfectly fine too obviously. Raw data with supersampling at 1.6x is quite something to look at.
If cooled right the TXP is comming awfully close to 1080 SLI performance (the SLI system still beats it though). Knowing how "well" SLI is supporte in VR it is the best choice.
Go for it.

Argh ok. Now - how to make this without a certain significant other knowing too much about it?
Christmas is coming. I'd bet serious money that ti cards are on the way. There's money to be made.
Aren't Ti cards normally based on the Full chip? I don't think Nvida after just releasing it the pascal chip is ready to release the full pascal chip so soon. They normally do another series on the same chip with a few more cores left on and then when the next version of chip is ready they will do a Ti pascal. So maybe an 1180Ti.
Undoubtedly. I'm looking for an 1180 upgrade from my 980TI. There's this little catch on the bottom of the GPU that releases it from the mobo and lets you swap cards at a future date.
Buy what you can afford (or at least get past the missus) and upgrade when you can. If you can afford a TitanX-P, get one. It will see you in good stead for some time.
PS. Just went onto Amazon and see there's a Titan X-P available for $1,699.00. Not sure if I should whisper "My precious...", or get my head examined for even considering getting one. :O

Its quite interesting, I upgraded my overclocked 980ti to the TITAN XP, water-cooled it and overclocked but still not seeing amazing performance. The engine appears to have severe limitations when it comes to supersampling and simply bottlenecks. Funny enough everyone is saying set the in game to 0.65 but I can tell you now comparing images side by side that 1.0 with Steam VR set to 1.5-1.7 is far sharper. Still trying to get a solid 90FPS in the game but the inside docking area isn't solid yet, everything else seems to be though. Wish I could drop a 2nd TITAN in

I am on a watercooled TXP too. I do get great performance usually. The problem i see is with the menus in the station. Loading the data will cause a hickup.
Opening the cockpit panels also leads to a very minor hickup. Other than that it is solid 90 FPS.
I think they should change the way the panels load.
CPU, GPU, Motherboard and RAM all play a role in performance. If you have a bottleneck, it's probably not because of your GPU. Is your Titan X in an PCIe x16 slot? or at least in the fastest PCIe slot your mobo has? Look it up in the manual.Its quite interesting, I upgraded my overclocked 980ti to the TITAN XP, water-cooled it and overclocked but still not seeing amazing performance.

You can also try this online site to test for performance issues. It isn't 100% authoritative, but will give you an insight into why you may be having issues.

GPU-Z is also a decent little program for testing GPU / PCIe.
I sold my 970 and bought a 1070, and it has given me a satisfactory boost.
I've overclocked it a bit for a few extra frames, it's running sooo much better than the 970.
Currently I've got it on VR HIGH with the debug on SSx1.35 which tightened up the graphics just enough, and I'm pleased with the results.
For the most part it's fine, you get the odd judderyness when things get a bit hectic, but I'm hoping the magical software fairies will solve that in time.

My system is top of the line for gaming...
i7 6700K 4.8GHZ
32GB RAM 3000MHZ
Z170A XPOWER Gaming
Samsung 950 Pro NVMe
TITAN XP - 2050 / 5500MHZ
I am getting good performance yes but there seems to be limitations in the engine, for example if I try 2.5x SS I used to see 18FPS on my 980ti at the game menu. I now see 30FPS...but even if I run the card at 1600MHZ or 2050MHZ, there is no FPS increase, so something is choking it. I am getting close to a final setting at 1.7 in game SS and 1.5 in SteamVR except the docking area is still tripping it up (still above 45fps but yeah).
Oculus disagrees with you; showing my GPU at >100% and my CPU fine.
Where do you get your believe that Elite is not GPU limited with 1.7SS?
Slowly allocating funds.
One thing that annoys me is the seemingly lack of VR reviews for the new titan card. Although I've seen quite a bit of 4k reviews I'm not sure how that translates to vr. Also I have the HTC Vive so that would narrow it down even further! I mean, how many reviewers would happen to review that card for this game using that headset?
I am writing some new for my channel just winding up testing as it takes aaaaages
Well, the nominal 4K @ 60 FPS needs to draw 3840x2160x60 pixels per second (497664000 px/sec) and CV1 or VIVE @ 90 FPS needs to draw 2160x1200x90 pixels per second (233280000 px/sec).
So, if the test setup does 4K well, it should be able to do HMD well too, even with some supersampling.
EDIT: That said, it's never quite that simple, there are lots of factors that influence how actual performance feels for an individual.

Good point, and as you said there are lots of factors. One I have in mind is whether or not the issues with the Vive has been rectified or how far Frontier Development has progressed with it. Iirc the Vive underperformed somewhat, and we have some workarounds involving a steamvr config file (which I have done @ 1.6 + the 0.65 SS ingame to accommodate). Perhaps 2.2 will shed some new light, either way my secret cash stowaway project is slowly creeping towards its goal and I guess there are more knowledge about the Titan Pascal's capabilities by then.

Here are my settings and the difference it made compared to my old 980Ti. This is with my TITAN XP watercooled / overclocked to 2050mhz. Don't know why everyone drops their in game SS to 0.65, it simply much worse. I have done tons of side by side comparisons and 1.0 in game and 1.5x in SteamVR has FAR more detail. My settings are still not finalised as I wanted to get actually playing done but yeah not the increase I was hoping for but still decent. I think the engine is holding the card back as overclocking doesn't seem to scale much yet it offers 20% increases outside of Elite Dangerous.
